Leeds United

Match Time & Date:

19:45 GMT

Prediction: 1-2

Fulham

Elland Road will host Tuesday’s football game between Leeds United and Fulham. The Whites kicked off the new Championship campaign in style, with the team beating Bolton Wanderers on the road, but they failed to turn their dominance into goals in a draw against Preston at the weekend. Chris Wood is still part of the team and the New Zealand international is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts against Fulham. The Cottagers, on the other hand, shared the spoils with the likes of Norwich City and Reading in the first two games of the season and they are now on a quest to record their first victory. Both teams are likely to go for a win in Tuesday’s football match, but Fulham want this win more than Leeds United and we are tempted to put our money on Slavisa Jokanovic’s troops this time out.

Fulham are a club from London that play in the Championship. The capital club dropped to the English second tier at the end of the 2013/2014 Premier League campaign after failing to impress in the elite competition. Fulham were founded in 1879 and they play their home matches at Craven Cottage. Fulham are the oldest-established club from the English capital to have played in the top flight. Fulham finished the 2008/2009 Premier League campaign in seventh place in the standings and that is considered the team’s biggest success, speaking of their participation in the Premier League. The Cottagers played in the Europa League twice and they did well to reach the FA Cup final in 1975, but they were beaten by their local rivals West Ham United in the title game (0-2). Chelsea are regarded as Fulham’s bitter rivals as well and the two teams take on each other in the North London derby.
